With the onset of winter in Afghanistan, the World Food Programme (WFP) has announced that it can only assist six million people in need during this season.
In a statement on Tuesday, December 24, the WFP highlighted severe budget shortages, which prevent it from providing food aid to millions of others during the harsh winter.
The organization stated, “Winter in Afghanistan is brutal, and we are facing a funding shortfall,” underlining the challenges in meeting the urgent needs of vulnerable populations.
